After 1 year Vybz Kartel cases fail to start! prosecution insecure

Dancehall entertainer Vybz Kartel's case involving the murder of Clive 'Lizard' Williams has been put off until next year.

The case was called up in the Home Circuit Court yesterday and postponed until January 21.

Williams was reportedly killed at Kartel's home in Havendale, St Andrew, on August 16 last year.

It's reported that Williams and another man were taken to the entertainer's house to give an account for a lost firearm.

Both men were reportedly attacked with Williams being beaten and stabbed to death while the other man escaped.

Williams' body has not been found.

The other man is expected to be the prosecution's main witness.

The police had reported that they have video and audio recordings linking Vybz Kartel and his co-defendants to the killing.

Eyewitness statements

The police also said they have eyewitness statements connecting the men to the murder.

Meanwhile, on November 12, Kartel and two other persons are to go before the Corporate Area Resident Magistrate's Court on trial for conspiracy in relation to Williams' murder.

Kartel, who has been in custody since September last year, is also charged with the murder of businessman Barrington Burton.

That matter will again be heard on December 3.
